What do you do when mods are the ones spamming?

As an example... It has happened on more occasions...

Sometimes the mods gets into some "internal humour" mode, ruining perfectly good debates.

Reporting the issue seems stupid, as I assume mods are the ones reading the reports?

So I posted here for advice.

The real question is, what do you do when tourists start spamming?

[Tribesman]

Tourists are only allowed to spam if they use the approved language.
Spammish

I didn't expect a Spammish Inquisition...

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I'd politely PM them (as I would to a regular patron too) about the spam if it is truly disrupting the discussion. I'd also ignore the comment as most people are fond of doing to my nonsensical posts. However, I thought the "spam" was well timed attempts at humour if it is the posts I think you are referring to. There is a point where you can take a joke too far, but often people have different ideas as to where that line is.

You send them to Belize. On holiday.














As tourists.

I agree with Kadagar. It sets a bad example for people who might be visiting these forums, but don't have an account. Tourists, if you'll indulge my metaphor.

[pevergreen]

Yeah, what about the tourists?

[Mithrandir]

You can report the moderator in question to TosaInu.



It'll have to be in the secret .Org language we'll be introducing from the 10th of octobre though.After that date we'll won't accept posts or complaints in any other language.

Can I consider this my very own Mith-gate? Can I, Can I?!

Tourists cannot read the Backroom.

[Adrian II]

Mithrandir made a brilliant joke that was very much to the point.

Just think about it.

Who the **** cares about the fate of tourists when the fate of those who live there, permanently, is so seriously prejudiced by legislation? Instead of calling the imbecile by his nam, Mithrandir demonstrated the imbecility of the question by repeating it as if it had never been answered.

Chateau wine plz, Mithrandir, the 'village' you sent last time was undrinkable

If you have a problem with a particular mod you can either (politely, preferably) take your concerns up with the mod in question or to TosaInu.

My daughter rode a camel in Australia. <- pretend this is a camel

I rode a camel when I was five at the zoo. The fact that they had "camel rides" next to "horse rides" made the job quite boring for the camel handlers I imagine, but hey it was pretty fun.

[Gregoshi]

My daughter's ride was 30-45 minute ride in the Outback at Uluru (Ayers Rock). She could have gone on a longer ride but that would have required her to get up a couple of hours before sunrise - an impossible task for most 22 year olds. I'd have gone with her, but there was the matter of a weight limitation.

I only have to raise my hand and a legion of beer and spam fueled camel warriors will thunder across the plains sowing death and destruction in their wake... You have been warned.

But W.A.T.T. ?

That must make high-fiving coworkers pretty awkward..

I believe this thread breaches .org rule 354 section iii. zeta alpha beta, as it states.

"Don't be a party pooper."

I'm trying to imagine a legion of beer on the warpath; I'll bet they get some cool special abilities! They must suffer a penalty in desert terrain, though, yes?

For civilization's sake, then, let's hope he works at home.

Ok, ok, in case you interpreted my post in this thread as having fun at your expense, I apologise, Kadagar_AV

As an explanation (not an excuse): Mith's post seemed so obviously a joke to me and the fact that, apparently, you misunderstood and seemed to have missed the joke and took it all so serious, made it even more funny, which resulted in my "snaps photo" post.

Please, don't take it too personal, I would have done exactly the same if this thread had been created by any other member.

Again: my sincere apologies if you felt offended by my post (but I suspect that "the tourists" will remain a running gag on the Org for quite a while, just like "the camels"... ).
